Darien Jdrum and bass artist
Darien J, based in Brighton UK, is a producer, curator and mixer of deep atmospheric club music. He has a firm belief that dance music is for dancing not chin scratching, foot gazing, ego stroking or selfie taking. Darien constantly absorbs wide-ranging influences and like a musical sponge is wrung out on radio stations and dancefloors around the world. Totally ignoring genre limitations, he manages to combine elements from the deepest side of house, electronica and techno in both his DJ sets and productions. Since his debut release of The Dubstar EP on Cubism Records in 2008 his skills in the studio have improved in equal but opposite measure to the decrease in tempo of the music he is willing to dance to. His latest releases can be described as sounding like ‘the abandoned love child of a twisted love triangle between Olivier Giacomotto, Stephan Bodzin and Solomon’. Over the last few years Darien’s music has found homes on trendy labels like Motek, Submarine Vibes, Inside Out and Chapter 24. Throughout 2021 he will be self-releasing one track every week that will be available free to fans who subscribe to his newsletter the week before general release - sign up here > darienjdj.com/subscribe
